Detailed Description

interface for buffered transformations

BufferedTransformation is a generalization of BlockTransformation, StreamTransformation, and HashTransformation.

A buffered transformation is an object that takes a stream of bytes as input (this may be done in stages), does some computation on them, and then places the result into an internal buffer for later retrieval. Any partial result already in the output buffer is not modified by further input.

If a method takes a "blocking" parameter, and you pass "false" for it, the method will return before all input has been processed if the input cannot be processed without waiting (for network buffers to become available, for example). In this case the method will return true or a non-zero integer value. When this happens you must continue to call the method with the same parameters until it returns false or zero, before calling any other method on it or attached BufferedTransformation. The integer return value in this case is approximately the number of bytes left to be processed, and can be used to implement a progress bar.

For functions that take a "propagation" parameter, propagation != 0 means pass on the signal to attached BufferedTransformation objects, with propagation decremented at each step until it reaches 0. -1 means unlimited propagation.

Member Function Documentation

BufferedTransformation& BufferedTransformation::Ref  )  [inline]
 

return a reference to this object

This function is useful for passing a temporary BufferedTransformation object to a function that takes a non-const reference. Definition at line 711 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual byte* BufferedTransformation::CreatePutSpace unsigned int &  size  )  [inline, virtual]
 

request space which can be written into by the caller, and then used as input to Put()

Note:
The purpose of this method is to help avoid doing extra memory allocations.

Reimplemented in MeterFilter, HashFilter, Redirector, ArraySink, ArrayXorSink, and ByteQueue.

Definition at line 730 of file cryptlib.h.

Referenced by ArrayXorSink::CreatePutSpace().

virtual unsigned int BufferedTransformation::Put2 const byte *  inString,
unsigned int  length,
int  messageEnd,
bool  blocking
[pure virtual]
 

input multiple bytes for blocking or non-blocking processing

Parameters:
messageEnd means how many filters to signal MessageEnd to, including this one

Implemented in BaseN_Encoder, BaseN_Decoder, Grouper, FileSink, MeterFilter, FilterWithBufferedInput, FilterWithInputQueue, HashFilter, SignerFilter, Redirector, StringSinkTemplate< T >, ArraySink, ArrayXorSink, SecretSharing, InformationDispersal, MessageQueue, NetworkSink, ByteQueue, RandomPool, MaurerRandomnessTest, Deflator, and Inflator.

virtual unsigned int BufferedTransformation::PutModifiable2 byte *  inString,
unsigned int  length,
int  messageEnd,
bool  blocking
[inline, virtual]
 

input multiple bytes that may be modified by callee for blocking or non-blocking processing

Parameters:
messageEnd means how many filters to signal MessageEnd to, including this one

Reimplemented in MeterFilter, and FilterWithBufferedInput.

Definition at line 748 of file cryptlib.h.

bool BufferedTransformation::Flush bool  hardFlush,
int  propagation = -1,
bool  blocking = true
[virtual]
 

flush buffered input and/or output

Parameters:
hardFlush is used to indicate whether all data should be flushed
Note:
Hard flushes must be used with care. It means try to process and output everything, even if there may not be enough data to complete the action. For example, hard flushing a HexDecoder would cause an error if you do it after inputing an odd number of hex encoded characters. For some types of filters, for example ZlibDecompressor, hard flushes can only be done at "synchronization points". These synchronization points are positions in the data stream that are created by hard flushes on the corresponding reverse filters, in this example ZlibCompressor. This is useful when zlib compressed data is moved across a network in packets and compression state is preserved across packets, as in the ssh2 protocol.

Reimplemented in Filter, Redirector, SecretSharing, and InformationDispersal.

Definition at line 195 of file cryptlib.cpp.

References AttachedTransformation().

bool BufferedTransformation::MessageSeriesEnd int  propagation = -1,
bool  blocking = true
[virtual]
 

mark end of a series of messages

There should be a MessageEnd immediately before MessageSeriesEnd.

Reimplemented in Filter, and Redirector.

Definition at line 201 of file cryptlib.cpp.

Definition at line 788 of file cryptlib.h.

unsigned long BufferedTransformation::MaxRetrievable  )  const [virtual]
 

returns number of bytes that is currently ready for retrieval

All retrieval functions return the actual number of bytes retrieved, which is the lesser of the request number and MaxRetrievable().

Reimplemented in MessageQueue, and Store.

Definition at line 336 of file cryptlib.cpp.

References AnyMessages(), and AttachedTransformation().

virtual bool BufferedTransformation::Attachable  )  [inline, virtual]
 

returns whether this object allows attachment

Some BufferedTransformation objects (e.g. Filter objects) allow other BufferedTransformation objects to be attached. When this is done, the first object instead of buffering its output, sents that output to the attached object as input. The entire attachment chain is deleted when the anchor object is destructed.

Reimplemented in Filter.

Definition at line 934 of file cryptlib.h.

Referenced by Attach().

bool Waitable::Wait unsigned long  milliseconds  )  [inherited]
 

wait on this object

same as creating an empty container, calling GetWaitObjects(), and calling Wait() on the container Definition at line 321 of file wait.cpp.
